Since Chinese Wushu has a long history, no one can tell exactly the source of kinds of boxing style and there is no available way to find it. For example, eight- diagram palm was created by Dong Hai chuan, then he passed it to Bi Cheng qie (Red Lotus Taoist Priest) and his master’s brother Guo Yuanji (Iron Cap Taoist Priest), but to whom Bi and Guo passed on the boxing? God knows. Another example, Nature Gate of Wan lai Voice (sound of nature) was passed on to Dwarf Xu? But then to whom? Form and will boxing is said to come from the Boxing Script of Yue Fei (a patriotist of the Southern Song Dynasty), Yue Fei imparted it to Zhou Tong, and to whom Zhou tong passed on? And what is about Gong sun da niang’s graceful sword art? It is known to all that Taiji quan was from Zhang San feng of Wudang, but in the 30s of 20th century, it was suspected after Tang Hao and Gu Liuxin’s research. They insisted that Chen Pu and Chen Wangting of Chen jia Gou Village created Taiji quan. Therefore they declined the fact that the real creator was Zhang San feng.中国功夫历史悠久,几乎没有人能确切的说出它的起源,也几乎没有人有有效的方法来发现它。例如,八卦掌是由懂海川创建的,并由Bi Cheng qie(红雪莲道士)和他的师兄Guo Yuanji(铁帽道士)传承的,但是他们又把拳传给谁了呢?恐怕没人知道吧。天籁之音传给了矮子徐,但是后面的传人又是谁呢?据说形意拳是从岳飞那来的(南宋朝代的一位爱国主义者),岳飞传给了周通,周通以后又是谁呢? Many unknown things exist among famous generals. 在许多将领中存在着许多未知的事情。据说太极拳是从武当张三丰那来的,但是,从Tang Hao and Gu Liuxin的文献上看,这是个谜。因为他门坚持说太极拳是从陈家沟的陈王庭那来的,所以否认了张三丰之说。 |
